MOTION TO EXCEED PAGE LIMITATIONS
The Appellant asks permission to file a brief that is 60 pages in length.
1. Background. The appellant’s brief is due July 4, 2013.
2. Authority. Supreme Court Rule 6.07(e).
3. Reasons:
a. The record on appeal in this case consists of 30 volumes and several thousand pages
of exhibits;
b. The trial lasted nearly a month and there were several other hearings on motions and
other matters which are the subjects of this appeal;
c. This case involves numerous complex and significant legal issues, including the
constitutionality of K.S.A. 60-3701 et seq. and the interpretation of the wrongful death
statute, K.S.A. 60-1901;
d. Because of the complex facts and issues, it has been impossible for counsel to
condense the brief to the 50-page limit and still address properly all the issues before this
Court;
e. Counsel was able to condense the brief to 60 pages, not counting the table of
contents and appendices.
Therefore, the Appellant asks the Court for permission to file a 60-page brief.
